A man of sorrows, despised, held in low esteem and rejected. Especially by those who still believe in democratic principles. But seen as a savior by the globe's richest and most powerful, aka the 'elite' (so called), the 'establishment' who continue to get richer and more powerful during his reign.
SimondB
So McConnell and others who have already declared they will not be impartial jurors - surely they must be committing perjury. Or at least could be held in contempt by the presiding judge.
TheLongTermer
At this point I dont think anybody cares what Pelosi does. Nothing but a waste of time this woman.
bass4funk
I agree by the haters, but never by his supporters.
On the haters personal opinions I am sure of it.
I guess we need to close down Silicon Valley and fire all those rich liberals that continue to get richer and richer.

I wonder if Pelosi noticed the rousing ovation President Trump received at the football game last night?
bass4funk
No, because they’re too focused with Russia, Russia, Russia to hear anything else, in their minds that (pardon the pun) trumps everything else.
ulysses
Will the republican senators show any signs that they have balls and brains?
Probably too much to ask!!!
bass4funk
They will, articles sent, speedy trial, acquittal, no removal and everyone goes on their merrily way.
CrazyJoe
Is Trump in semi-retirement. No scheduled appointments at the White House. He hasn't had more than an activity or two per day since Christmas. What gives?
Guys over 70 who spend most of their days in Florida at the golf course have a name. People who spend the morning in their bathrobes tweeting from the toilet have a name. People who don't even bother to come into the office to around 11:00 a.m. have a name. It is "retired".
Isn't it about time we get a President who works full time for the Nation?
plasticmonkey
Sounds like impartial justice to me.
bass4funk
With fast and furious there was zero justice. You just get what you get and deal with it.
plasticmonkey
So your point is we should dispense with impartial justice. Because libs.
SuperLib
His legacy, thanks to Pelosi and Schiff.

Thats what the whiny, scared and morally bankrupt GOP senators would do and most probably will do.
And then after Nov 2020 smackdown complain that they were forced by donny to do it.
Come on losers, stop whining in private and stand up for yourselves!!!!!

Rudy wants to join Donny's defense team, ROFL.
Please ,please, please let him join and watch the whole team self-destruct!!!!!!

Rudy's argument
'Sure donny is a criminal, but being is criminal is not a crime'.
ROFL.

What a farce from these dems. But this farce will increase our great President's majority at the election in November. So dems thanks for your help with President Trump's re-election.
SuperLib
Yep, those diplomats with over a hundred years' experience testifying against Trump was a farce.
Blacklabel
There have been accusations that the articles were held to help Biden win in Iowa and the early states.
as liberals have taught us all allegations are automatically valid. So out of fairness Biden should not campaign when his rivals can’t.

“The President and the Senators will be held accountable,” Pelosi said
I guess the House is not going to be held accountable until November.
Pelosi is a joke. The worst Speaker of the House in history.
bass4funk
What justice, it’s a farce, that’s why it’ll be over soon.
bass4funk
Yeah, For the Books, Clinton was and is Fine, Trump will be as well.
Naw, he’ll still be acquitted
ulysses
Because the GOP senators have neither balls nor brains, we go in circles!!
Blacklabel
Never fear it will be right back to muh Russia investigation in Schiff’s basement after this trial.
PTownsend
Thanks for the reminder that US intelligence agencies along with others throughout the 'west' continue to find Russia's 'meddling' in political affairs around the globe. Why Trump, McConnell, Graham, Rubio, Cruz and other Republicans are turning their backs on Russian involvement (while getting campaign moneys from oligarchs) says a lot about their and their supporters self-proclaimed loyalties to the US.
Blacklabel
the trial was supposed to start this week now next week, why another 1 week delay?
CNN says because they are still add more documents and items that no one has ever seen or validated. Likely some more of those tasty phone records schiff illegally obtained.
bass4funk
The Dems as well, we all go in circles.
Oh, please, the Dems are just dumb, this entire farce has blown up in their faces. I’m really tired of this, I just can’t wait until this crap is over and the majority of people in the country want to put this behind us. But I understand, the Dems have nothing, they need to feel relevant and they need to cling to something. Linus had his blanket and the Dems need Russia and impeachment.

Great job Nancy - you played it like a Master. By holding the articles you allowed even more evidence of Donnie's guilt to come out, forcing more Repub Senators to check their spine and conscience - we'll have witnesses now. Can't wait to hear about the "drug deal"...
Even better, you caused Donnie to become even more shattered and unglued - yesterday sending out doctored and fake photos - what a Loser...
Now we have the treasure trove of info Parnas turned over - with handwritten notes by Crazy Rudy to Zelinsky asking for an investigation of Biden. And Donnie's lies about "imminent threat" at four Embassies has been shown to be pure BS. The Great Orange NEOCON turning on all his campaign promises about "stopping endless wars". He's melting down like an orange creamcicle in the Georgia heat...
Get your shirt with the big red "I" out Donnie - maybe your Chinese clothing partners who make your ties will sew one for you cheap...
ulysses
Some GOP senators had lost their nuts and were trying to find them...
Nothing original as we can see, typical right wing nutters all noise and no content.
When donny gets kicked out in Nov we will, have patience .
ROFL, right wing nutters quoting from peanuts!!! Thats Faux intellectuality for you!!!
bass4funk
I think Ted Cruz is right, if the Democrats want witnesses, they should bring them in at the same time they have to bring witnesses that the Republicans want and that includes both Bidens and that includes the whistleblower and that includes Adam Schiff, I’m all for that, but the Democrats won’t do it because they don’t want any skeletons to come out on their side. And this is the reason why this is going to go through speedy trial faster than you can blink your eyes and Trump will be acquitted and we can all move on, also if they drag this on then that means six of those senators will be taken off the campaign trail and they don’t want that either, so either way the real person who did the masterstroke idea is Mitch McConnell.
Hmmm....which won’t change anything, because all the witnesses in all the crap that the liberals brought in the house impeachment hearings, that’s all said and done, so it’s not going to raise any new eyebrows or change the minds of anyone.
Hey, Soleimani is dead, leave him be, he won’t be coming back, either way, Obama offed OBL, Trump got Al Baghdadi and this other nut, so who cares, I hope he gets more. Lol

just setting up the same excuses to your base for another loss in 2020.
Isnt that debate tonight? or is that next week? no one even knows or cares because you cant stop with your laundry lists of complaints about Trump for more than a couple of hours.
Did you hear those cheers and USA chants at the football game? was amazing!
Serrano
Great job Nancy - you played it like a Master.
Har!
Bring on Impeachment Lite, Dems! I've got my popcorn and Junior Mints ready to go!
Blacklabel
so what concessions did the supposed Master get for the trial? By the end her own team was tellling her to hurry up and just send them. All i have heard is from Cocaine Mitch that if she wants witnesses, its of course not just going to be her witnesses. I think we found Hunter!
All she really did was prevent Bernie and Warren from campaigning for the whole rest of the time prior to Iowa and New Hampshire. Is that an illegal campaign contribution to Biden from her?
lincolnman
I thought Donnie said Ted Cruz's father was involved in the JFK assassination?
Sure, won't change a thing for all those wearing their MAGA-vision googles - others will see the truth...
The excerpts show Parnas acting as a conduit between Giuliani and current and former Ukrainian officials, including several close aides of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. One handwritten note reads: "get Zalensky to announce that the Biden case will be investigated" — a reference to the ongoing efforts to get Ukraine to announce probes to benefit Mr. Trump politically.
Committee investigators found an image of a letter from Giuliani to Zelensky dated May 10, 2019, after Zelensky won election but before he was inaugurated. On the day before, The New York Times reported Giuliani planned to travel to Ukraine to try to dig up dirt against former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, who sat on the board of a Ukrainian gas company.
He lied - used the same tactic that Dick Cheney did in 2003 - and proved to everyone that he's a war-loving NEOCON - and all his promises about bringing the troops home was noting but pure BS - and his supporters all fell for it...
Let's see, Donnie has recently doctored the intel on Solemanei, doctored the photo of Nancy and Chuck - what he really needs is a Doctor for his dementia...
Jason
All this over a phone call that you can legit read and he doesn't ask for anything. Dems don't know how to read anymore? House dems are a joke following nancy off a cliff.
lincolnman
Holy cow! I knew Moscow Mitch was corrupt and involved in all kinds of dirty deals with his wife and her Chinese relatives and contacts, but is he on cocaine too? That does explain a lot... Didn't know he was a she either... Guess he's channeling Caitlyn Jenner.

Rudy needs to start preparing for prison, Things don’t look to good for him.
He better watch what’s happening to Flynn carefully!!!!

Something sweeter would be better, might make it easier to swallow that bitter pill!!!!!

That the Dems are as corrupt as sin, it’s already started.
That’s ok, at least the scum is dead. I’m cool with that.
What? Oh....lol
Blacklabel
The she obviously refers to Nancy Pelosi. Its no wonder you guys think the transcript says something it doesnt. reading in context is a key ability that you seem to lack.
Serrano
she wants witnesses
Question. If the Democrats want so much for Bolton to testify, why didn't they call him to testify in the House hearings?
Something sweeter would be better, might make it easier to swallow that bitter pill!!!!!
You're going to have take the red pill at some point, ulysses.
SuperLib
You weren't compelled by the testimony of the witnesses? Is that what you're describing as 'crap'?
Perhaps you think this is all just a misunderstanding with them. Or maybe they secretly hate Trump and are lying. Or maybe you've erased it from memory since there was no counter to what they said.
TheLongTermer
Its funny watching the doo doo brain dem debates. The moderators will throw them some bait, then they attack each other, but always try to steer it back to "the most important thing is beating Donald Trump" or its the big corporations fault"
Their race to the bottom with no solutions, instead dysfunctional incompetence is entertaining to watch, but scary to think what would become of Trumps economy if one the doo doo brains wins.
lincolnman
Ignores Parnas comment - posts general nonsense... Can't handle facts.
Hey thanks - it's on the record - Donnie can lie, cheat, steal, even shoot someone on 5th Ave - and the Trumpers don't care. All the campaign promises - it was all BS, and we don't care. We don't care we cheered when he said he was ending endless wars, bringing the troops home, and no more US blood in the sand - we'll cheer him now that we know he is a NEOCON, a hawk, and is starting a third ME war. We'll cheer him anytime he reverses himself and scams us because we're a cult...
Trumper hard-hitting reply...

"Feuding candidates and an all white stage. What to look for"
Sanders denies telling Warren a woman can't be president: "I didn't say it"
"Biden says he wouldn't meet Kim Jong Un without preconditions"
CNN is on top of this debate!
Yeah Biden wont meet unless his son gets a job on the board.
Impeachment* means nothing compared to all this nonsense going on onstage right now.
lincolnman
Hey, your words in black and white below...
*so what concessions did the supposed Master get for the trial? By the end her own team was tellling her to hurry up and just send them. All i have heard is from Cocaine Mitch that if she wants witnesses, its of course not just going to be her witnesses. I think we found Hunter!*
So, tell us all about McConnell's cocaine habit and his gender switch...that's real news...
Blacklabel
you simply cannot read in context. thats not my issue.

I find it so ironic how some people here can so easily vilify the Japanese government when they have shown to engage in corrupt behavior; however, they become so blind when the focus turns to their own government.
A great "innocent" president wouldn't risk the lives of other people for their own selfish gain!
Trump a dangerous, irresponsible narcissist who bombed Soleimani to distract from impeachment, Canadian CEO says

"So, can a woman beat Donald Trump? Look at the men on this stage: Collectively, they have lost 10 elections. The only people on this stage who have won every single election that they've been in are the women.”
After calling Bernie a liar on top of that.
The impeachment and Nancy cant even help any of these Dem candidates. If the Senate removed Trump he would just come back and get reelected anyway- these candidates are so poor in quality. You know who else has won every election he has been in? Donald J. Trump
bass4funk
That will never happen.
Actually, they look veeery good for him, he won’t be impeached and he won’t be removed, so we can all breath a sigh of relief.
arrestpaul
That's not what "perjury" means.
House Democrats had been declaring Trump guilty of something/anything impeachable for several years BEFORE Democrats finally settled on the Ukraine call. Repeatedly demanding that Trump be impeached BEFORE the charges were even discovered clearly demonstrates the undeniable bias of House Democrats. And the undeniable bias of the CNN-types.
Blacklabel
Who won the election under the laws of our country? (Which is a constitutional republic, btw)
Within a day of his election, trying to remove him already. Yep, democracy, liberal style

With the latest release of a trove of documents from Giuliani associated proving the funneling of millions of dollars of Russian money to fund GOP political campaigns it is no surprise the GOP wants to silence the press.

It also looks like the Russians are trying to help their best asset in the WH win another election by cheating again!

It is amazing how Trump wants what Russia/Putin wants, so they both can personally benefit.
Impeachment is bad for both of them because it interferes with "the Manchurian candidate's" chances of getting re-elected!

Yeah, so this guy, Michael McCain, lost his wife and son when the Iranians shot down that Ukrainian jet and is now blaming it on Trump. I can understand he's upset but he's upset at the wrong people. Even the Iranian protesters know who is responsible for that travesty. The Iranian mis-leadership.

Pelosi, Schiff, and Nadler had ample opportunity to call all of the witnesses they wished to when the House was in charge of their inquisition. Elected democrats chose not to defend the lawfulness of their subpoenas in court, in public. The House Democrats dropped the ball. Again. After it became apparent that the Democrat impeachment scam had failed to change any hearts and minds, the Democrats are now demanding that Senate Republicans do a better job of writing an impeachment charge than the House Democrats were capable of doing.
Pelosi may finally allow her House Democrat Party puppets to finally vote to send their laughable impeachment articles to the Senate. Just as U.S. Senators do not have any say over the U.S. House rules for impeachment (it's a separation of powers kinda thing), House Democrats do not have any say over how the U.S. Senate will run its impeachment trial. Pelosi will not be able to give Senators the same evil eye she used to silence her puppets in House. There was nothing fair about how House Democrats ran their kangaroo impeachment court. There is no reason for Senators to take advice from crooked, unfair, biased House Democrats.
TheLongTermer
Well the doo doo brain dems have once again said a whole lot about nothing during their "exciting" debate, as CNN predicted it would be; just saving us all from the doom and gloom, seems that they have just pulled out of thin air. Just going to save us all and make it all right.
Thing is, if one of the doo doo brains gets elected, they wont have to do any more magical thinking; doom and gloom will surely appear.
Serrano
From the Constitution: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
Well, none of that was established in Impeachment Lite. What gives?
